Astra Zeneca scores a major win for those people who cannot be vaccinated. This was studied as a preventative measure. 77% reduction in symptomatic infection for those treated with the instramuscular (shot, not IV) antibody treatment. The two monoclonal antibodies are derived from human B-cells harvested from convalescent plasma on patients who recovered from Covid. AZD7442 PROVENT Phase III prophylaxis trial met primary endpoint in preventing COVID-19
I went like my first 5 years owning a smart phone with not one single crack. Then about 5 years ago, we are on the back patio at our old house and I was picking on my wife for how often she cracks hers and how I had never cracked mine. Moments later as I am getting up to grab something from the fridge, guess what I did. Now all these years later I have a million screen stories. I seem to have started the snowball that day.
Everyone, let's keep this thread for treatments, cures, and vaccines. Take the discussion to the other COVID thread, please.
Can someone speak to the quarantine duration for vaccinated individuals who contract a breakthrough case? I think one year ago people were quarantined for 10-14 days. It seems that vaccinated people are transmissible for a shorter period time, yes?
10 days from positive test if you have no symptoms. If symptoms develop after a positive test it would be 10 days from when symptoms began. I don't think they differentiate between breakthrough and non breakthrough

Moderna begins testing combo booster vaccine (Flu and Covid): https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/mod...e-for-covid-and-flu-boosters-shares-gain.html
They are evaluating, since these are technically just boosters, I think so. Not that different than MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). At childhood those were separate shots for me. When I needed a booster to get into UF, it was single shot.

I just got my antibody results back from donating blood, after 10 months my wife and I still have the antibodies. Like I've stated from the start way better than any temporary shot for covid
I completely disagree with you natural immunity is far better than any shot that they're giving currently
What's the basis for your thought there? Do you know of any research that the antibodies formed from the virus, which you call 'natural' immunity, versus antibodies formed from the spike protein, which is also natural immunity, are any different?
The body creates a response to the entire antigen, not just the spike when a naive person becomes infected. The nature of the immune response is more broad base than the response to the vaccines since those are only aimed at the spike. It is not clear that one is "better" at this point, but the immunity created from infection is more broad.
So what is the number count on which you base your claim? Or is this like most of these type claims and not really based on fact?
I thought you would be happy to hear that my antibodies are still here after 10 months. I guess it doesn't help your agenda on trying to force everyone into getting the shot
